Alex
AI recruiter that runs end-to-end hiring: live interviews, resume screening, identity verification, and scheduling.
Overview
Alex (built by Apriora Inc.) is an AI recruiter that handles hiring end to end: it conducts live, conversational interviews over phone, video, SMS, and WhatsApp, screens resumes against job criteria, verifies candidate identity against government ID and live selfie checks, and automatically books qualified candidates onto recruiter calendars. It's aimed at direct employers in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and professional services, plus staffing agencies, RPO firms, and university recruiting teams running high-volume hiring. The pitch is standardized, fraud-resistant first-round screening that frees human recruiters for relationship-building rather than manual phone screens.
